Drinks and Dinner!
Cherries are SO good right now!
Hope you are all having a wonderful week! The weather has been so pleasant this week, so I've spent lots of time outside getting my steps in! We also spent the weekend by the pool, which was so nice. I've had lots of time to rest and relax, which has been wonderful! Last summer was so sweltering; June has been such a breath of fresh air. It's truly been perfect!
We just randomly planned a trip for early next month, and I am excited about it. This weekend we have fun plans to go to the symphony. I told you all the story of how I lost my Hermes scarf at the Symphony in January and got it back in April. Truly amazing and reminds me there are good people out there! Also, I am pretty sure that took up all of my luck for the rest of the year, ha!
We are also going to our club and my parents' for dinner to celebrate Father's Day, which I am looking forward to. My dad is the best and so easy to celebrate. He's also very easy to shop for, considering he loves clothes and fashion!
I cannot believe we are almost to July! It will be our 5th wedding anniversary at the end of the month, which I am very excited to celebrate, and I truly cannot believe it's been 5 years (and was supposed to be 6, but you know, the pandemic). We are also going to the lake, which I always look forward to! I love spending time with my family and friends- truly what life is for!
Dress (use code SUMMERWIND20) the lightest weight fabric ever!

Eating: Fun fact about me: I don’t really like raw tomatoes. I would never put sliced tomatoes on a sandwich, and if they come on one, I always take them off. I pick grape tomatoes out of salads and usually ask for no tomato whenever I can. But I love things like pico de gallo, cooked tomatoes, and tomato-based sauces.
Lately, I’ve been roasting tomatoes with a little olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and seasonings, then keeping them in a container in the fridge. I find myself adding them to things like sandwiches, cottage cheese, pasta, salads, you name it. It’s so easy and makes even the most basic meals taste that much better.
It’s such a simple thing, but I thought it might be worth sharing for anyone else who doesn’t typically care for tomatoes. I usually roast them with whole garlic cloves and chopped white onion, too, but I didn’t have either on hand for my most recent batch (pictured here). And the juices they create make the most delicious salad dressing, too!! Tastes like SUMMER!
Drinking: I used to drink so much sparkling water, but I kind of got sick of it and haven't been drinking it much in the last year or so. I got this PR package from Spindrift of their new blueberry lemonade flavor, and it's delightful. My husband loved it mixed with vodka as a cocktail! He said it reminded him of the blueberry lemonade cocktail at Cisco on Nantucket!
Reading:
Sale: Stylest, one of my favorite bathing suit brands, is having a secret sale through this link, and you use the code SECRET30 for 30% off at checkout!
Watching: Loved the 30 years of Toy Story documentary on ABC that aired recently. I streamed it via Disney+. It was heartwarming, fun, and easy to watch before bedtime.
I also watched Off Campus (Amazon Prime) after seeing so many raves about it on social media. It was good, but not my favorite. It felt a little too Lifetime-ish for me. The acting was not great. It wasn't terrible and not a total waste of time, but definitely not my favorite.
Loving: This Kate McLeod Sun Stone is so innovative and something I'm excited to add to my routine this summer. I've loved every product I have tried from this brand, but their team sent me this new 'after-sun stone,' and I'm hooked. It is a solid balm (almost feels like a bar of soap at first) that melts into the skin to soothe and replenish sun-exposed skin with cocoa butter, aloe, cucumber seed oil, and sea buckthorn. It feels so great on the skin after a day by the pool, and the fresh tangerine and sandalwood scent smells like summer!
Wanting: A cute take on the whole 'boatkin' trend! A stunning pink dress that would be perfect for a wedding! Such pretty printed lounge pants! A cute red, white, and blue collection from one of my fave brands. The stitching on this classic sweatshirt is adorable! Love that this canvas pouch can be monogrammed, and what a great price, too! I've been eyeing this cotton sweatshirt (in red) that is under $50. So simple- a wardrobe staple! This is such a cool gold bag. I can never resist madras, and this tote reminds me of the J.Crew tote I carried as my bookbag in high school! This golf cardigan is darling!!! The chicest dress and/or coverup! This top is $500- much more than I usually spend for a linen top, but I can't stop thinking about it! This fringe terry coverup would be sooo cute for the 4th of July! Lobster sweaters are really having a moment this summer and this one is a classic. A pretty and easy breezy white eyelet dress. This satin clutch is the most beautiful shade of marigold! This flag sweater is fun!!! Alice Walk is dropping two new cashmere wrap colors today!
Pittsburgh: I know Hyde Park is a chain, but I just love the Pittsburgh North Shore Hyde Park! We randomly popped in last weekend and had dinner at the bar. It's delicious and a fun little date night spot. I love the wedge salad. The shrimp cocktail is good, but no match for Del Frisco's shrimp cocktail!
Amazon Rec: Prime Day starts on the 23rd. This is the one random item I'm watching to see if it goes on sale!
You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!
Smelling: I randomly ordered this deodorant. I'm a big Salt and Stone gal, but I thought I might switch it up since I have seen this deodorant everywhere for years. I think the smell is just OK. I don't hate it, it's pleasant, but I just don't see the hype. I'll definitely won't waste it, but I am not sure I'd ever order again.
Traveling: We decided to go to Charleston in July, and I am so excited. I've never been in the summertime, but my husband and I just didn't want to wait for the fall/winter. I may melt, but worth it for a 167 lobster roll!!
